Default What is "Easy Tab Deluxe"?

Looking for easy beginner songbooks (online) and I see some that say "(Easy Tab Deluxe)" or "Tab Deluxe". What does that mean? Is it just a trademarked marketing thing, or is there something really different about it?

Different publishers might have different nomenclatures, but "Easy Tab" will be simplified arrangements, giving you things like basic chords, perhaps the (vocal) melody line in tab, etc.

Here are 2 samples from musicnotes.com - the first is an "Easy Tab" arrangement, while the second gives a more accurate transcription of the guitar parts actually heard on the recording - just the first few bars of the song but hopefully enough for you to get the idea.
